AURORA – 261 people are in quarantine at the Aurora Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

The quarantine comes after two people were infected with the chickenpox and two others contracted mumps in the last month.

ICE said they are now giving MMR vaccinations to everyone at the facility out of an abundance of caution.

Seven people have been infected in the last 13 months.
